JB Hi-Fi’s music team has officially announced it will be shutting down its music streaming service “JB Hi-Fi Now” on March 17, 2016.<\/p>\n

The music streaming space is turning out to be a very competitive one, JB Hi-Fi Now joins the likes of Rdio, Milk and Beats Music in closing its doors even though streaming, overall, continues to grow its activity and revenue.<\/p>\n

Spotify recently announced they are getting close to 30 million premium subscribers and Apple Music is accounting for about 11 million more after only a few months of its launch. The “Streaming War” is heating up so keep an eye for more news, Soundcloud and Amazon are expected to join the fun and announce music subscriptions soon!<\/p>\n

Note: Since the service closing date is only a couple of weeks away, we have stopped deliveries of new content immediately. Accounting for the activity due will be included in your reports in the normal timeframe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will be able to stream music as normal until 17th March as long as you have a valid subscription. However JB Hi-Fi NOW will no longer be taking any direct payments, new subscriptions or renewals from 17th February 2016.<\/p>\n
